Description
Dr. Ariel McKinney is a licensed psychologist in Dallas, TX, helping Black women, teens, and high achievers stop performing and start healing. She sees clients in-person and virtually throughout Texas.
If you're successful on paper but struggling internally — exhausted from anxiety, burnout, people-pleasing, or just trying to hold it all together — you're in the right place.
Dr. McKinney creates a space where you can show up fully, without masks or pressure to pretend you're okay. Her work is evidence-based, personalized, and gets to the root of what's keeping you stuck — not just managing symptoms.
She specializes in anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism, perfectionism, life transitions, and parent-teen communication. Her approach blends EMDR, CBT, ACT, and somatic work to help you understand your patterns, regulate your nervous system, and build lasting change.
Whether you're navigating a new season of life, breaking generational cycles, overwhelmed and underappreciated, or finally putting yourself first — Dr. McKinney is here to do the deep work with you.
